Here's two nobody seems to pick. I don't know why. I think they are both great episodes. I really like "Return of the Archohns." Where the people in the village acted like happy zombies until the Red Hour, then they beat the crap out of each other. Their god Landrew was a computer and Kirk tricked him into self destruction. I also really like "Friday's Child." I like how the Klingon acted all tough, but quickly gave away his ships location when Kirk put a knife to his throat. Plus Tier Aakkarr, sounds like a cheap men's cologne. I also like that Bones slapped that stupid queen, you couldn't get away with that today.

Not sure of the title, but there was an classic 60's episode about an archaeologist who was protecting the very last of an alien species of shape-shifting vampire that would suck the salt out of it's victims' bodies.The scientist was protecting it in return for the information it was giving him about the creature's once living culture and history. It took the shape of his wife to give him comfort.This was a step apart from the usual United Federation of Planets drawl where Kirk was playing peacemaker, or making out with alien women. This was a well-done and somewhat scary episode. It's my fave!

That is (I think) The Man Trap: quite creepy.

I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time and I think that's why we were brothers- because you did, too. No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or half way across the world. The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Salute mi familia. You'll always be with me... And you'll always be my brother.

I think it was the 2nd episode of the original series that I saw, and it scared the s*** out of me. It scared me so bad that it put me off the series for quite some time.

Really? It scared you THAT bad? There again as a kid it's easy to see how, it was a very serious story and it had a very menacing premise and a somewhat scary creature.

I also remember being scared by the faceless, glittery hat and coak wearing Zaticons from the Lost In Space Episode 'wreck Of The Robot." Just the way they walked and talked in those meanicing tones..

I can see why though...come to think of it, somewhat off topic, I also remember being somewhat scared (but also fascinated) by the one Lost In Space episode, "Prisoners Of Space" (if I'm right.)

In that one, the Robinsons were put on trial by a galactic jury of their peers for crimes against space. The courtroom scene was so awesome...a mist-filled cave, with all manner of space monsters from every corner of the galaxy, amid the eerie music of John Willaims. There was a memory machine that would tell if the person was lying or not as it played their testimony out on screen.

Monsters are cool no matter what dude. They scare, but they also fascinate. So, hats off a free round for all our monster buddies!
